Contents

The Middle-Upper Devonian strata in the subsurface of Mackenzie Valley, Peel Plain and Plateau between 64.5ºN and 68ºN receive upgrades in lithostratigraphic framework. The focus is on improving traceability of hydrocarbon-rich mudrock units within the total petroleum system of the Horn River Group. The lateral facies changes in these strata lead to the recognition of four paleogeographic zones, each having a separate layout of member-rank traceable units. True vertical thickness (TVT) isopach maps and depth maps of formations and member-rank units are created in ESRI® GIS system.
